I think it is very unreasonable for anyone to use the net for commercial
purposes.  A lot of sites spend money on telephone calls that they
get nothing back for (except getting on the net.).  I wouldn't
be supprised if some sites started writing code to block things
like the Mantinence program.  Now, if the company extended this
(the maintinence program) free, I suspect no one would care, but
CHARGE for it?  Net.wanted dosn't count in all of this, because many
people on the net are interested, but charging for a service that
should be free is outrageous.
